Touch event not firing?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

G’day dear Devforum. I’ve encountered a new problem that seems to blocking me from testing something. My touch event for a part isn’t registering and I don’t know why.

The parts CanTouch property is on the only thing disabled is can collide.

Here’s an example to what I’ve been encountering

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”) then
print(hit.Parent.Name)
end
end)

And here’s the code
Although I don’t see any issue with the code nor are there any errors in my output :frowning:

try this

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then 
    print(hit.Parent.Name)
    end
end)

Is that a script or local script?

#4

It’s a serverscript placed inside of the part

#5

It works! But why? What’s the difference between this and the other code I’ve written?

#6

Is it because it checks if the hit even exists in the first place?

#7

its hit.Parent.Humanoid not hit.Humanoid hit is a part that touched the given instance and script couldnt find Humanoid inside the part that touched because there wasnt any

Oh yeahhh, my mistake it seems like I forgot how hit detection works mb :skull:
